The jewelry world is no stranger to sustainable, ethical practices. The Kimberley Process prevents conflict diamonds from entering the mainstream rough diamond market, and 82 countries, including the US, are currently participating. The Responsible Jewellery Council (RJP) has been operating since 2005 and sets the sustainable and ethical standard for jewelry and watch supply chains. You can rest assured that the majority of your favorite jewelers will be members of such organizations, but many employ their own practices. Chopard’s trailblazing ‘Journey to Sustainability Luxury’ is in its eighth year now, and focuses on protecting and preserving the Earth from which it sources raw materials. Pippa Small is a Canadian designer who champions handcrafted, ethically sourced jewelry and has quite the cult following.
